In the thermodynamics textbook there is written: 𝛿𝐴 = 𝑇𝑑𝑆 βˆ’ π‘‘π‘ˆ = 𝑑(𝑇𝑆) βˆ’ 𝑆𝑑𝑇 βˆ’ π‘‘π‘ˆ = βˆ’π‘‘(π‘ˆ βˆ’ 𝑇𝑆) βˆ’ 𝑆𝑑𝑇 = βˆ’π‘‘πΉ βˆ’ 𝑆𝑑𝑇
How did we get the bolded area from TdS? Is that property of derivative, integral, or something else :/

Sorry for being so terse. I was posting from my phone.

Apply the product rule to ##TS##. ##d(TS) = ?##.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19Β±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19Β±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
